How the Book of Mormon Changes OUR Lives

We know that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God; it's 'Another Testament of Jesus Christ'.

Just as the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God for the people in those days and in those parts of the world (and still highly applicable to us in ours), the Book of Mormon is another witness of the Lord's dealings with His people - here in the America's.

It tells a story of a small group of people at the time of King Zedekiah in Jerusalem, who were guided to know that because of the wickedness of the people at that time (about 600 B.C.), that Jerusalem would be destroyed. The Lord commanded them to depart out of the land and later to sail to the America's where they would establish a new nation.

This book has changed our lives. We try to read, study and ponder from it's incredible teachings, every day. We have been promised that we will get closer to the Lord, Jesus Christ, by abiding by the precepts in this book - than by those in ANY other book.

This morning we pondered a verse together. It is one of our favorites with an invitation and a promise. We invite you all to read and ponder for yourselves and ask God, in the name of Christ, if this is not true. We promise that if you ask him with a sincere heart and with real intent, having faith in Christ, he WILL manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. (See Moroni 10:4)

Omni 1:26 "And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come
unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his
salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved."

After a wonderful week of experiencing and learning about some of the early church history sites in Independence, Missouri and Nauvoo, Illinois (Liberty Jail, Carthage, Temple Site, New Jerusalem, Pioneers, Quincy, Adam-Ondi-Ahman, LDS Temple, Smith Family Cemetery, Mississippi River etc.) we drove through beautiful Alabama to arrive here in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, last Monday.

It's been a bit of a whirlwind week getting settled, learning our way around a bit, meeting and working with the 10 outstanding younger missionaries in this area, meeting and loving the new ward members, attending two baptisms and Elder Hendricks (Mike) going out with the Elders 4 times now, and I, once.

Last Friday I drove two of our sweet sister missionaries to the 'Sisters Conference' in Bonifay, Florida (about an hour from here) where we met with the 72? other sisters in the mission and had a wonderful day together. Apparently, sisters are about 1/3 part of the mission and the Elders are t…

Dearest Friends,
We love you all and hope you are looking forward to good things in the New Year as we are. We are ever-so-grateful for Prophets of God who lead and guide us and who teach us to be at peace amidst a world in turmoil, #BecauseofHim whom gives us that peace. Now, more than ever, we know that the truths of the gospel are what bring us that calming and reassurance and understanding that all will be well as we follow Him.

We are so grateful for the new Come, Follow Me program that has already blessed our lives greatly, and look forward to many days where we can work on becoming 'new creatures' through Him.

Our love to you all!

This is month #17 for us. Today, as per some of your request, we're posting some of the before and after photos of some of the work we've done. We think it's symbolic of many of our own lives. We may be in great disarray before but as we allow light and truth to sink deep into our souls - and a true cleansing process to take place…

We had a visiting General Authority to our Stake Conf. this past weekend. It was wonderful, powerful, incredible and truly edifying!

Our Stake Public Affairs person asked me to take copious notes for a newspaper article she was going to put together afterwards, as she was going to be out of town. So, these are some highlights from my notes.

Hope you are blessed, if just in a small way, with some of these messages from a variety of speakers:
